Galatians 6

1 And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourself so that you also are not tempted.

2 Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3 For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4 So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.

But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.

5 For each one shall carry his own burden.

For each man will bear his own burden.

6 And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

7 Do not choose to wander astray. God is not to be ridiculed. For whatever a man will have sown, that also shall he reap.

Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 For whoever sows in his flesh, from the flesh he shall also reap corruption. But whoever sows in the Spirit, from the Spirit he shall reap eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

9 And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we do not give up.

10 Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of the household of the faith.

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

11 Consider what kind of letters I have written to you with my own hand.

See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand.

12 For as many of you as they desire to please in the flesh, they compel to be circumcised, but only so that they might not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.

As many as desire to make a good impression in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, just so they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13 And yet, neither do they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law. Instead, they want you to be circumcised, so that they may glory in your flesh.

For even they who receive circumcision do not keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh.

14 But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

15 For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

16 And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.

17 Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
